Summary

The What-If machine projects a human Bender, the world as a video game and Leela in her real home.

Our Take

A strong anthology episode that keeps the three shorts moving fast, with the video game segment being the standout thanks to its loving digs at classic arcade tropes. Human Bender gets some good mileage out of his sudden appetite for food and feelings. The Wizard of Oz riff at the end is the weakest stretch but never drags. Worth your time.
